I am writing in support of Muriel Kramer and Amy Ritterbusch both running for the two 5-year seats on the Planning Board & Irfan Nasrullah for the 1-year seat on the Planning Board. These three represent a great deal of professional & community experience along with a calmness and willingness to work as a team player on a board. They are open to hearing input from citizens and businesses in regards to their concerns/needs/ideas along with bringing a fresh perspective as we look to Hopkinton’s future.

Muriel has been a past Selectman including chair along with other elected and appointed roles, she works tirelessly for this community. Muriel is committed to providing a thoughtful, strategic and managed approach to growth, while ensuring open space preservation and protection of historical sites are always in the forefront of consideration. She is fair and balanced, and dedicated to finding the best solution for all stakeholders, with you as her first priority.

Amy has held many volunteer roles in town, is diligent, extremely detailed oriented and hard working. Amy is the go-to person who can dig out facts, history and relate it to its prevalence of Hopkinton’s future. Amy is currently serving as the Chair of the Hopkinton Center Historic District Commission and as an Associate Member of the Design Review Board.

Irfan has been in Hopkinton for nearly 40 years, an Environmental Attorney who also practices in Real Estate law from his office on Main St. in Hopkinton. Irfan has worked with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Environmental Crime Strike Force, the MassDEP protecting water and land resources. In his private practice, he has worked with numerous Conservation Commissions and Planning Boards. Irfan brings familiarity with land development as well as a responsible stewardship of land in both planning and development.

Please join me on May 15 in voting for Muriel, Amy and Irfan.
